What ramps do you use?
So I've had my "new to me" 2007 S for about a month and I wanted to get ready for my 1st oil change. I was wondering what ramps everyone uses. I don't think the ones I use for my dodge ram would work since I can't get my fiance's monte carlo up on them. Grateful for any suggestions!

I tried a few brands (Craftsman, Harbor Freight) in the past, but the low front clearance of the MINI made it difficult to use a ramp. I prefer raising with a jack and using jack stands for safety. Much easier to store if you have limited space

The "Rhino ramps"(polymer) from your local auto parts chain
Works great with the limited clearance of the mini's.

You can get the wood cheap in the cut/shorts cart.....or maybe even free if you know where to look....add some construction adhesive or lots if screw's... Super strong, custom, cheap!!
